Senior QA Engineer – Performance & Reliability

Reliability Validation: Conduct Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) prediction, long-duration stability tests, and error injection campaigns to validate system robustness.

Deep Dive & Issue Resolution

Root Cause Analysis: Lead the deep-dive investigation of performance degradation and reliability failures. Use advanced debugging tools (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, firmware traces) to isolate issues.

Developer Collaboration: Work directly with firmware and hardware engineers to reproduce complex bugs, analyze crash dumps, and verify fixes.

Infrastructure Enhancement: Develop and maintain automated performance testing frameworks and reporting dashboards to track regression and trends over time.

Reporting & Leadership

Reporting: Generate detailed performance assessment reports and reliability analysis metrics for stakeholders.

Mentorship: Mentor junior engineers on performance testing methodologies and system debugging techniques.

Experience: 5+ years of experience in embedded system testing, with a strong focus on performance verification and reliability engineering.

System Knowledge: Deep understanding of TCU, BMC, HMC, RoT (Root of Trust), Secure Boot, TPM, HSM, PCIe (Gen4/5), DDR memory, and networking protocols.

Performance Tools: Proficiency with performance profiling tools, traffic generators, and standard benchmarks (e.g., SPEC, IOzone, iperf). Experience with thermal and power measurement tools.

Programming: Strong scripting skills in Python for test automation and data analysis; familiarity with C/C++ for code analysis is a plus.

Operating Systems: Strong Linux/Unix skills, including kernel tuning, system monitoring, and log analysis.

Tools: Experience with CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitLab CI) and version control (Git).

Education: BS/MS degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.

Ways to Stand Out

Experience with AI-driven log analysis or anomaly detection tools to predict reliability issues.

Background in validation of high-speed interfaces (PCIe, CXL) and memory subsystems (DDR5/LPDDR5).

Experience with data center server architecture and thermal management.

Knowledge of industry reliability standards (e.g., Telcordia, JEDEC).

Note: We do not expect candidates to meet every single requirement. A strong core of these skills with a problem-solving mindset is what we value most.
